Criss Cross Flutter Kicks
- 1 - Lie flat on your back on a mat with your legs extended and your arms resting at your sides, palms facing down.
- 2 - Engage your core by pressing your lower back into the mat and slightly lifting both legs about 6 inches off the ground.
- 3 - Begin alternating small, rapid up-and-down kicks with your legs while simultaneously crossing one leg over the other in a scissor-like motion.
- 4 - Continue alternating the crossover pattern, keeping your legs straight and your core tight throughout the movement.
- 5 - Keep your head and shoulders slightly lifted off the mat to increase core engagement, or keep them flat for a modified version.
- 6 - Maintain controlled breathing throughout the exercise, exhaling as you perform each kick.
- 7 - Continue for the desired duration or number of repetitions, then slowly lower both legs back to the mat to finish.
